Commission defers Police Memorial pickleball court naming to May 6 after councilwoman requests consultation
Summary
After a request from Ward 4’s councilwoman that law-enforcement stakeholders be consulted, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission voted to defer the naming of Police Memorial Park pickleball courts to the May 6 meeting.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission voted to defer action on a proposed name for the expanded pickleball courts at Police Memorial Park, 3250 Metro Academy Way, setting the item for the commission’s May 6 meeting.
Vice Chair Stephen Nyger, citing a request from the councilwoman’s office and the need for law-enforcement stakeholders to be consulted, asked the commission to hold the item. “I would like to request that we defer this matter to the councilwoman's office,” Nyger said during the discussion.
After a short procedural exchange, a motion was made to abey the agenda item to the May 6 meeting; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The department had closed a public naming survey prior to the meeting and provided the commission synthesized submission results at the meeting; staff said the underlying survey results would not change.
Commissioners agreed that the additional time will allow consultation with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and other stakeholders before the commission makes a recommendation to the councilwoman. No naming decision was made at the April 1 meeting.
